Richard Gere calls Trump a 'thug', says US in a 'very dark place' [View all]
American actor Richard Gere called President Donald Trump a “bully” and a “thug” on Saturday during an awards ceremony in Spain, and said the United States was in a “very dark place”.
The 75-year-old, who received an International Goya Award at Spain’s top film honours, warned that authoritarianism is on the rise “everywhere”.
“We’re in a very dark place in America, where we have a bully, a thug, who’s the president of the United States. But it’s not just in the US, it’s everywhere,” he said. “Authoritarianism takes us all over.”
